使用 Redis 来存储 Apache Tomcat 7 的 Session

使用 Redis 服务器来存储Session非常有优势。首先它是一个NOSQL数据，第二它很容易扩展使用。 This kind of setup would lead to a clear understanding of how Redis can behave as cache as well as a session storing system. In order to do this the instructions are as follows :-

1. Download Redis and build by the following commands (This includes downloading it too)

   wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz
   tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz
   cd redis-stable
   make

2. Start Redis using command(Redis Directory refers to the directory where Redis is built)

   cd RedisDirectory/src
   ./redis-server --port 6379

3. Get the latest version of Apache Tomcat 7
4. Download the latest version for JEDIS (A Redis Java Client), Tomcat Redis Session Manager (Redis-backed non-sticky session store for Apache Tomcat) and Apache Commons Pool .
5. Copy all the above files into the lib folder of the Apache Tomcat 7 installation directory.
6. Add the lines mentioned below in the context.xml of your Apache Tomcat 7 (Or on the context block of server.xml if applicable).Edit the Configurations as your settings. In out case the port number to be configured is 6279.
   <Valve className="com.radiadesign.catalina.session.RedisSessionHandlerValve" />
   <Manager className="com.radiadesign.catalina.session.RedisSessionManager"
            host="192.168.1.45"
            port="6379"
    password="password"
            database="1"
            maxInactiveInterval="60"/>
7. Now restart your Apache Tomcat 7 normally and now you would see that the sessions are being created in theRedis Rather than on Tomcat.

Thats it. Now you have your Apache Tomcat 7 storing all the sessions in Redis and it also takes care about the different aspects of sessions.

web.xml中的配置是有效的，即使是context.xml总配置maxInactiveInterval默认60秒，只要web.xml中的sessionConfig配置30分钟，则session的失效时间还是30分钟。

注意：需要增加 tomcat-redis-session-manager-1.2-tomcat-7.jar 和 jedis-2.2.1.jar、commons-pool-1.6.jar 这三个个jar
